Customer Reviews

A warrior's book, good reading about the air war-its players

I enjoyed the book and feel that those that were there will also. The book puts real faces with the stories and the event. Those that are intersted in these years, missions and those that were a part of it will enjoy. The "real players" make it and their story real and continue the readers interest. Knowing the author and the type of person he is also increases its readability. A good weekend book. Another true picture of a foggy period. The book is real and the individuals Kross writes about are also real.
